  Anti-AKT Antibody has been tested in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections), and Immunofluorescence (paraformaldehyde-fixed primary cardiomyocyte cultures). Expect a band at ~55.7kDa in 3T3 whole cell lysate or other appropriate cell lysates or tissues in western blot. Although not tested, this antibody would be useful in flow cytometry. Researchers should determine optimal titers for applications that are not stated below.

Key Properties

• Antibody Type: Primary Antibody
• Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Isotype: Antiserum
• Immunogen: AKT Antibody was produced from whole rabbit serum prepared by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide R-P-H-F-P-Q-F-S-Y-S-A-S-G-T-A corresponding to the C-terminus (460-480) of human AKT proteins conjugated to KLH using maleimide. A residue of cysteine was added to the amino terminal end to facilitate coupling. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest reactivity with this protein from rat, mouse, and chicken based on 100% homology for the immunogen sequence.
• Target: AKT1
• Purity: This product was prepared from monospecific antiserum by a delipidation and defibrination. Pan Anti-AKT Antibody reacts with the AKT from human tissues. Based on sequence we expect this antibody to react as well with rat, mouse, and chicken AKT.
• Conjugation: Unconjugated

Western blotting analysis. (a) Type-II collagen. (b) Type-IX collagen. (c) Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and phosphorylated FAK (p-FAK). (d) Paxillin and phosphorylated Paxillin (p-Paxillin). (e) Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphorylated MAPK (p-MAPK). There are no evident differences in the expression levels of total MAPK and p-MAPK between the two groups. (f) Akt and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt). There were no differences found in the intensity the total Akt expression between the two groups, but p-Akt was found at higher levels in the LIPUS group (US+) in comparison with the control group (US-). (g) Cyclin B1 and cyclin D1. (h) Changes of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) using MEK1 inhibitor (PD98059) and phosphatidylinositol 3-OH kinase (PI3K) inhibitor (LY294002). Chondrocytes were pretreated with MEK1 inhibitor (PD98059, 250 µm/ml) and PI3K inhibitor (LY294002, 250 µm/ml) for 12 hours and 24 hours followed by stimulation with LIPUS for 20 minutes. Each sample was harvested 2 hours after LIPUS stimulation and the influence of these inhibitors was judged in western blotting analysis of the expression of PCNA.
